As the rest of the U.S. rightfully watches Ted Ligety dominate the Men's Giant Slalom, WASB had its eyes trained on Arman Serebrakian around 1:00 a.m. Western United States time!
Due to intense IOC restrictions, WASB cannot upload a video of Arman's first run, which saw him finish 54th of 109 skiers. In his second run, he improved his time by about 3 seconds to finish 42nd overall. Again, even though WASB's video cannot be uploaded, it must have been an amazing feeling when Arman crossed the finish line to cheers from a strong Armenian contingency in Sochi, leading the BBC announcer to exclaim, "He's getting warmly welcomed in the foot of the course!"
Congratulations to Arman, he represented Armenia with utmost pride!
Very proud of you Arman...you are my claim to fame!!!
